Critics Review

‘Funny, moving and thought-provoking.’

‘For all the chaos of Katharina’s life and for all the humour of her narrative voice, this well-written and surprisingly complex novel has an unexpected gravitas.’ * Age *
‘Funny, moving and thought-provoking.’ * BookMooch *
‘A quirky ride that masterfully blends a sardonic sense of humour with a deeply embedded fear of mortality.’ * Readings *
‘Definitely one of those “read in one sitting”, “hard to put down” books.’ * Nudge Books *
‘Kat and her family are deeply flawed but likeable characters; you want to cheer them on…A good read, suitable for long, dark evenings.’ * Otago Daily Times *
‘An enjoyable and thought provoking read.’ * MindFood *
‘With a heroine so well-realised she feels like a friend, and piercingly true ruminations on the strange courses that life can take, Look At Me is a wildly impressive English-language debut.’ * Culturefly *
‘Full of whimsical inner monologues and snappy one liners.’ * Booklist *
‘Krügel knows her way around both the salty and sweet of marriage and motherhood.’ * Kirkus Reviews *
‘A punchy and powerful novel… a moving denouement.’ * The Lady [UK] *
